Question/Comments?
 
Amazing!!!! If tires were painted and could be buffed and waxed I think that's what they would look like. I need to go get some of that tire dressing.

Great work.
 
Very nice work! Looks like those water spots came out. That last pic shows what a great job you done. How long did that job take you?
 
I had a question since you got them out. The other day before we got another 10 inches of rain here in CT. I had my car parked and someones sprinkler was putting some drops on in for about 20 minutes (without my knowledge or I would have moved it). Well when I got home to wash it, the hood felt like sand paper, I know the sune was drying the drops as soon as it hit so I understand spots but it took me an hour just to clay it off.

Took about 4 hours max. Give or take. Stopped to talk to 3 neighbors, so that didn't help the time.
Though, one neighbor has a 38 foot Rv he needs done Mid July when he gets back from a road trip. I gave him a rough estimate of $375-400. Could change more depending on the condition when he gets back...LOL

Should also be picking up a van. Grand Voyager. Same owner as the truck.
 
Chris, your going to be giving me lessons pretty soon with all this awesome work you have been doing. Excellent job. Im sure the wife enjoys it too!

Looks good...I just did my dads truck today, just washed it and waxed it though but I can never get the fender wells to look shiny and glossy I guess is a word I could use with armor all or anything but it turned out nice just from scrubbing the wells and cleaning them up a little.
 
Awesome work Chris! The truck looks really great. I think I'm sold on Hyper Dressing too!
